Jaymi, that is a classic example of because its a vintage rick its worth lots of cash syndrome.I cant believe he turned down the midnight blue man.realistically the 77 is just a player now.Its not worth anywhere near what an unmolested rick is worth.At a player standpoint im sure its a cool bass(i like it)but i wouldnt pay over 1k for that in the open market.Your midnight blue BT is worth at least 1,650.00.At a player standpoint.The badass (badass 1)is a great mod when done correctly.And adds incredible meat to the tone of a rick as well as unsurpassed adjustability.Its just hard to get around not having the look of the original bridge at a purest standpoint.
